To solve the problem step by step, we can break it down as follows: 1. **Understand the Problem**: Each player starts with \( k \) points. For every task not completed, they lose 2 points. If a player fails to complete 100 tasks, they will lose points based on that. 2. **Calculate Points Lost**: Since the player fails to complete 100 tasks, the total points lost will be: \[ \text{Points lost} = 2 \times 100 = 200 \text{ points} \] ...
